Jennifer Lopez has revealed she couldn’t get out of bed after the breakdown of her marriage to Marc Anthony.

The 43-year-old singer-and-actress was devastated when her seven-year marriage to the Latin music star, 44, – with whom she has four-year-old twins Max and Emme – ended six months ago.

‘I was going through a divorce and the break-up of a family, which was devastating, because family means everything to me. I didn’t want to be the woman who stayed in bed for months. I did do that a little but I knew I had to get through it.’

But the former American Idol judge pushed on for the sake of her kids.

‘I thought, “I don’t want to just survive it, I want to come out better.”

‘I had to figure out what I did wrong that I was in a relationship where I was accepting situations that weren’t good for me. If you’re allowing yourself to be in a bad relationship, you need to understand why,’ she explained.

And J-Lo, who is now dating dancer Casper Smart, 25, says her new relationship has strengthened her belief in love lasting a lifetime.
